LOL @ Manly...

[Sabre]

I hate Manly as much as anyone but I couldn't laugh at them for this.
Teams shouldn't lose players coming through the grades like this, it's what is holding the game back. It rewards teams like the Roosters who don't bother investing the time and money into developing juniors and just buy, buy, buy. If every club took that approach the standard of the NRL would be atrocious.
Clubs should be rewarded for developing talent from their own juniors, it would dramatically increase the overall talent level in the NRL.

Agree Sabre,

I was looking forward to seeing the raiders team with Milf; Cornish; Wighton etc

The sharks with Lichaa, Holmes etc

It's such a shame seeing the Mata'utia brothers going to the dogs (if they indeed do).

Manly are vermin. End of story. Seems they don't want Toovey as coach (press reports of them trying to poach Brad Arthur back from Parra), DCE and Foran likely to leave, following Watmough, the place is in disarray. I think they'll finish bottom 5\. At best. And, the future is bleak.

People were predicting them to be bottom 5 in 2011 after losing Hodkinson and they came out and won the comp. I think they'll surprise a few. Being tough is ingrained into their culture. Don't be surprised to see them in the 8.

Theyve raped and pillaged for 30+ years. I'll feel sorry for them if they are still losing players in 2045.

Don't be surprised to see DCE end up at the Dogs.
